Keeping your pool clean shouldn’t be a chore. Automatic Swimming Pool Cleaners offer a hassle-free solution to maintaining crystal-clear water, saving you time, effort, and money. Whether you’re dealing with leaves, dirt, or algae, these innovative devices take care of the hard work—leaving you more time to relax and enjoy your pool. From robotic to suction-side and pressure-side models, there’s a cleaner to suit every pool type and budget. Discover how the right automatic pool cleaner can transform tour maintenance routine and enhance your swimming experience.
There are three main types of automatic pool cleaners: suction-side, pressure-side, and robotic:
• Suction-side cleaners connect to your pool’s filtration system and use suction to vacuum up debris.
• Pressure-side cleaners attach to a return jet or booster pump, using water pressure to move and collect debris into an onboard bag.
• Robotic cleaners are plug-in units with their own motor and filter. They’re the most advanced, offering smart navigation and independent operation—no connection to your pool system needed.
The best cleaner depends on your pool’s size, surface type, and how much debris it collects.
• Suction-side cleaners are ideal for smaller pools with light debris.
• Pressure-side cleaners work well for pools with moderate debris, especially leaves or other larger particles.
• Robotic cleaners are great for any pool owner who wants a low-maintenance, high-efficiency option—they’re especially good for larger pools or pools with a lot of dirt or sand.
Yes, but it depends on the model. Some cleaners are designed specifically for in-ground pools, while others are made for above-ground pools. Robotic and suction-side models often have different versions that are tailored to one type, so it’s important to find a cleaner rated for your pool’s design for optimal performance.
It depends on how often you use your pool as well as how much debris it collects over time. For most residential pools, running the automatic pool cleaner 2-3 times a week is enough during swimming season. If there are lots of tress around the pool or it receives heavy use, then running it daily is recommended. During the off-season or times where the pool is receiving less use, you can lower the number of times you run it.
Most robotic models allow you to program timers/schedules to fit your needs.
Not entirely—but it will greatly reduce the time time and effort needed. Automatic cleaners handle most of the dirt, leaves, and debris on the floor and walls. However, you’ll still want to brush the waterline and steps occasionally and check your filters and water chemistry regularly. Think of automatic cleaners as an assistant instead of a replacement.
Most automatic pool cleaners last between 3 to 7 years, depending on the type, brand, usage, and maintenance.
